Serbia

Brigand “Daleko je Vavilon”

Four years after their debut record, Brigand brought another great and high-quality album. New songs are sharp, they flirt with noise-rock and sludge-metal, and with completely raw vocals of Velibor Nikolić make one hell of a combination.

When it comes to production, this is one of the best-sounding records made in Serbia in past several years.

Bohemija “Sve naopako”

Bohemija is the new band on Serbian music scene. They come from the city of Niš, in the southern part of the country. Their first album “Sve naopako” is real triumph and music reviewers consider it one of the best debut records in 2017.

Sound of Bohemija is very diverse and fresh and we can expect more amazing stuff in the future from this crew.

Eyot “Innate”

“Innate” was recorded at Electrical Audio Studio in Chicago by the legendary sound engineer and producer Steve Albini, famous for his work with Nirvana, Pixies, PJ Harvey, Mogwai and others. It is fourth album of the Eyot quartet and successfully combines jazz and rock, folk and ambiental music.

If you like mixed sound of classical piano, heavily amplified guitar and strong, rock influenced drumming, give this record a chance. It will blow your mind.

Stepa “StEPa”

Four youngsters formed this band in 2016 and they already have a lot of fans and people who like their music. “SteEPa” is the only mini-album featured on this list and it consists of six beautiful and amazing songs.

We can describe their sound as combination of American folk music with elements of psychodelic/indie-rock. In my opinion, they have a bright future ahead of them.

Nikola Vranjković “Veronautika”

Singer-songwriter and former member of Block Out, Nikola Vranjković, released epic new album. Most of the songs are already known because they were created long ago and Vranjković performs them for quite some time. Now, they got whole, studio versions.

Poignant lyrcis and outstanding production, great amount of prominent musicians who contributed the record sound, large instrumentation and cosmic atmosphere are the most important characteristics of this pure delight.

Bitipatibi “Lešnici divlji 2”

After releasing a debut album of dream pop that was perfectly formed, Una Gašić dropped another amazing record, “Lešnici divlji 2”.

In her own way, she continued to transform her dreams, fears, quest for love into verses that are pure poetry.

Her lyrics might seem distant and inconceivable to ordinary people, but this thing doesn’t affect us to indulge and enjoy it. In addition, for many years now, Una’s voice has a therapeutic effect on me.
